Re: " black also associated w/ saturn in hinduism. the gold is interesting since saturn is usually associated w/ lead which is on the opposite end of the alchemical spectrum as gold."
They are close in atomic density and weight, and so attempts made to convert lead to gold literally by the literalist alchemist. I see that as an analogy for attempts to make the false pass as real as well as an attempt to 'play god' or play with fire, the saturnal element. See Jack Parsons
This was a 'base' example (lead) of higher concepts about essence. (gold/sun)
This morphing theme....is saturnal CHANGE....in TIME.....while simultaneously representing the Old ...........Father Time.....jealous at being displaced, and so 'eats his children' in analogy.
